Time Immemorial

Wounded soldier rest a while In this house you’re safe from harm Let the war fight itself Don’t be alarmed Though I wear a uniform of your army’s enemy I am no enemy to you We didn’t start this war or the one before All we’ve ever wanted was to live in peace War is the mindset of those threatened by the thought Of losing power and control don’t you see We have been our worst enemy But you and I have minds of our own We can choose to disengage From the collective misperception Of the kind of war that’s being waged here We’re living in fear Life like the stream running through The many hills and plaines of landscape you To meet the greater body of the sea There not diminished but built upon It returns itself to where it came from So can it be with you and me We are the heart and soul of our greater whole All we’ve ever wanted was to come home to ourselves Since time immemorial there’s been conflict and war Each new one greater than the one before Don’t you see we have been our sole enemy But you and I can break the circle We don’t have to feed the flames Pointing fingers blaming others We are all to blame around here For living in fear
